Citizens are concerned about their neighborhoods

1. The buildings are out of character with the lower village’s neighborhood charm.
2. Only three percent of the units are slated for affordable housing.

Scenic Hudson sees some potential solutions

1. A wider color palette and buildings with varied roof treatments and architectural styles would give the development a neighborhood look.
2. Affordable housing units should be more like 10 to 15 percent, the norm for such developments.

Well-planned waterfront redevelopment enhances the existing character of the community.

“The poor people won’t have an opportunity to live there. The ones who are going to buy there are the engineers, doctors. But the people from town won’t be able to buy there or live there.”– Orestes Ledesma,
